Freezing and storing

Purchasing frozen foods
When purchasing frozen food, observe the following:
Check that the packaging is not damaged.
n
Check the sell‐by date.
n
The temperature of the supermarket freezer should
n
be -18 °C or lower. If not, the shelf life of the frozen
food is reduced.
Purchase deep‐frozen food last. Wrap food in
n
newspaper or place in a cool bag and take home.
At home immediately place deep‐frozen food in the
n
freezer compartment. Consume the frozen food
before the use‐by date expires.
When arranging the food, note the
following:
Pack food so that it is airtight to prevent it from
n
losing its flavour or drying out.
Insert the frozen food containers as far as they will
n
go and do not block air outlet openings with food or
this will impair the air circulation.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh, undamaged food only.
Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which
is already frozen.
To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out,
place in airtight containers.
Packing food correctly:
1. Place the food in the wrapping.
2. Press out all the air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label the wrapping with the contents and date.
